This arrived packaged very well. The stainless steel hopper was even crated in a small wooden box within the cardboard box. Setup was easily and somewhat intuitive, which is good because the 'instructions' are not useful at all in both operation or set up. You just kind of guess your way through it. I use it to grind corn for calves. Functionally it works well and can grind the corn very find or can just crack it. It comes with two different sets of grinding mills for a coarser or finer grind (the instructions tell you nothing about this). It also has an on/off switch which other lookalike models don't have. A 5 gallon buck fits right underneath it. It does make a lot of dust. I grind into a 5 gallon bucket with the lid cut in half, which cuts down on a lot of the dust.
